core核心畫面

A report with everything checkable in it and nothing else — what happened, when, how many. No feelings, no judgement, nothing the writer merely believes. The word marks a piece of language as made of things that can be verified.

可以想成：一份報告裡只留下可以查證的東西——發生了什麼、什麼時候、幾個人。沒有感受，沒有評價，也沒有作者自己的看法。factual 這個字就是在幫一段文字貼標籤：它是由「查得到的事」組成的。常拿來跟 opinion（意見）對照，例如 a factual account of the accident。
